Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2012-284, Why Did Obama Win?

All the pundits are trying to slice and dice to find an answer. I have a simple one for you: He got more votes. This was a solid win, both popular vote and electoral college.

Was the media in his tank? Sure, no question about that.

Did the Democrats cheat? Sure, after all they are Democrats. I am sure there were Republicans cheating too, but in this current generation we are not as good at it as they are.

Did certain ethnic groups vote with zombie like devotion? Yes.

Did certain cultural groups vote with socialist devotion? Yes.

Did the 47% show up? You betcha.

Was it a genuine, resounding victory? Yes. It was a mandate. It tells those of us who are out of step, what the tune is: Socialized medicine, government handouts, nanny state, and blame a “have” for all your “have nots.”

Get used to it. It will get worse. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Remember, Our Deranged Leader is planning on being even more flexible after the election. That is now. I wonder what the first unconstitutional executive order will be?

As California has gone, so goes the nation.

Pray for the president’s health. Remember that the alternative is Joe Biden.
